certain that the Sobranje in electing
Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg
was sure of his acceptance; and the
next question is whether the Powers
or rather the majority of the Powers,
will acknowledge him. The opinion
prevailing in political circles here is
that Turkey, England, and Italy are
sure to give their consent, that Rus
STA and France will withhold it, and
that the decision will rest with Aus
tria and Germany, or rather with
Germany alone, as her attitude will
of course determine that of Austria.
Now, considering hat the relations
between Germany and Russia have
lately become somewhat less friendly
and those between Germany and
France decidedly less friendly, it is
most probable that Prince Bismarck
has now less desire to meet the wish
es of Russia than he had last year,
and that Germany and Austria will
Join England and her allies. A re-
port received from Berlin this even
ing goes still further, and says hal
all the Powers, with the exception Of
Russia, will acknowledge Prince
Ferdinand, and that Russia in face
of "a faH accOmp6 will content herself
with a protest .-Iames.

The election of Prince Ferdinand

ternoon, and as the political world
was prepared for this news, The event
would have created little sensation
but for the statement which arrived
in The evening that the Sobranje had
proclaimed the independence of the
Principally, including Eastern Rou-
melia. This report has, however,
not yet been confirmed, and it is
hoped that it is not true, as this bold
step would considerably increase the
already existing difficulties.
The mosto important question at
present is whether The Prince will ac-
ceept thethrone. This is at least very
likely. 1t must be re%membered that
he never positiSelyy declined nomina-

A Meath correspondent states that

that district will be very disastrous.
The surrounding counties are also
suffering, dry weather, accompanied
by intense heat, having prevailed
since the early part of April. Wells
have run dry, and in some instances
cattle have died owing to want OF
water. The hay did not ripen, and
the oai crop is stunted in its growth.

thousands of children had thus passed amid
great enthusiasm, JEFF. from his seat, said
''From the quality of your seed-corn the
harvest will be most bounteous." There was
evidently a hidden meaning to this, and it
emphasized little later. At the close
of this review JEFF repeated the figure. Says
the Constitution:
arising in all the majesty of his manhood,
he then spoke in a strong, clear voice, which
sounded like prophecy:
"'Georgians you have no reason to fear the

me to-day will produce bounteous harvest,

THE SLAVERY OF LABOR.

General jackson said in his Macon speech
that slavery was 'the gentlest and by far the
most civilizing and humanizing relationship
ever borne by labor TO capital" This sweep
ing statement places slavery at the head of
all systems of labor. General Gordon de-
votes good part of his speeches in Ohio to
describing the loveliness of slavery from
domestic and patriarchal stand point. In one
sense these utterances have no practical sig
nifcance. There is no danger of slavery be-
ing re-established. But they show the in
stinctive attachment of the Southern Demo
crat for q system that degraded labor. Labor
always was regarded in the South degrad-
ing, and to large extent is yet. Slavery
made it so; yet General Jackson, a Democratic
leader, says slavery was "by far the most CIV
ilizing and humanizing relationship ever
borne by labor to capital" Southern society
and the solid Democracy of the South rest
on this idea to-day, as they formerly did on
slavery-the idea that labor is degrading, and
that a laboring class should be held in state
of practical bondage and peonage. This is
Democracy at the South, where the plant
grows most luxuriantly and comes to full
maturity. The ause Of free labor and the
